Mamluke -> RE: August 1942 (4/28/2016 11:31:19 PM)

So nice to see the ARR go on, I need my AAR fix!
some question as there are some things that are bunging me.. in what turn the the Germans capture Makhachkala? and in what turn did the German Mountain Divisions arrived?
it seams, to me that there is quite a time gap until the Mountain Div. arrived, in the early stages when derbent was being fortified, those Mtt. Div could have been a game changer! the Soviets had few units and forts adjacent to Derbent and the closes Mountains.
with hindsight its easy to talk, but couldn't bobo motorize his mtt. Divs? also, don't the Germans have like 3 or 4 Mtt divs in the summer 1942? how come there are only 2 in this decisive ( as much as the Germans can achieve) Drive to Baku?
speaking of Baku, even if the City and the surrounding territory hold, (its like the new Leningrad!) the rest of the Caucasus can fall to the Axis, I think this is a very serious setback for the Soviets in terms of obtaining the initiative for 1943. Not to mention there should be quite the Manpower the Soviet could use, is that Manpower much BTW?
I mean, Stef is losing almost all of the Don basin, that means the Germans have a strong AND WIDE defensive position, on which the Soviets can only conduct offensives in the blizzard, then the Germans will calmly give ground step by step (Blizzard is hard on Soviets MP's).
I have not played MP so, maybe Im underestimating what a player SOV can do came winter 1942. still. I say the Sov winter offensive will be just as interesting as this German Summer offensive.
On Astrakhan:
wow you actually had enough MP's to cross contested Hexes!? Lucky! (I think...)
